Lifelines: The Brain Injury Support Groupmeeting at Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas
The August meeting is scheduled for Monday the 10th, from 6:30 – 8:00 PM (directions below).
Survivors speak: talking and listening.
Jim Goodman, Karl Heller and Horace Irwin will each share their unique experience with us.
Jim Goodman will speak of his experience as a lifetime survivor - now 65, he is a few years past a stroke that left him with Wernicke's aphasia to overcome. Even more remarkable is the fact that Jim began having heart attacks at age 37 that continued through his life. Come learn about the lifestyle choices that might have contributed, how Jim survived and how he truly appreciates every day of living he is blessed with.

When turning into the campus from eastbound Walnut Hill, the best route to take may be the driveway prior to the light for the main entrance. The driveway curves away from the main entrance (direction towards North Central Expressway) and the entry to the parking lot is on the left (gated entry). The Fogelson Building has a small dome on top and is next to the Margot Perot Center.
Using the underground parking is the easiest way to reach the meeting location; if entering from the main floor, cross the foyer (past the stairs) and take the elevators to the ground floor. Classroom A is to the left off the elevators.
Remember that parking is now free! Be sure to get your validation sticker at the start of the meeting.
